Lottie Lucas is the luckiest person she knows. She has looks, money, three houses and a teenage son she adores ... So why is her husband Harold walking out on her? Light Years is also about zoos and the zodiac; the seasons and the stars; and how humans see the natural world. It is a novel about the possibilities of happiness, a surprising and beautiful contemporary love story. 'In the tradition of the best romantic comedy.' The Observer 'Sublimely funny and infinitely subtle, Light Years is pure delight.' Daily Telegraph 'Energetic and beguiling.' Sunday Telegraph 'This is so fine a novel, because so completely a planned and crafted one.' Times Literary Supplement
